Thanks for writing this up Ken.

Strangely enough, I was researching a related topic a few days ago. I was wondering if disassemblers did the right thing with these opcodes. I was wondering in particular if they could reproduce the exact binary after disassembly.

It turns out that most assemblers do not have a specific way to make a distinction. The gnu assembler (gas) does have a ‘.s’ suffix for mnemonics to differentiate.
